Kickback was repurposed from Shothole.

A redeco of the Insecticon Kickback mold, Shothole transforms into a mechanical grasshopper. The "control seat" in the insect-mode back / robot-mode chest can open up and store one of the three energon cubes that come with the set. Shothole was only available in the e-Hobby exclusive set with Salvo and Zaptrap.
